I threw my phone in my desk because it has gone off constantly because someone does not like being home alone when he is sick.
Yes I know he has stayed home and taken care of me and look I have done it in other cases but he just has a cold he does not need me to watch over him.
I mean along with blowing up my cell, my work phone has been going off nonstop and then he keeps calling everyone else to try and get me to pay attention to him.
*Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz*
I reached into my drawer and grabbed my phone. It, of course, is Jake for the millionth time today. I got up and stretched and then casually started to walk out to the balcony to throw my phone over the edge. The only other time my phone has gone off this much is when Charles used to text all the time and my phone vibrated itself off of my desk.
Right before the door fully closed Captain Holt said, "Santiago come here please."
My plan was delayed but I swear if Jake calls me one more time that phone is going over the edge. "Coming Captain."
I walked inside checked my jacket then walked into the captain's office and closed the door.
"Santiago please take a seat."
"Yes, Captain."
"We need to talk about Peralta."
"You too?"
"Yes, no less than 15 times in the past three hours."
"I am sitting at 30 between my cell and my work phone."
"Is he really that ill that he needs you to come home."
"No he has the flu and he just thinks he is dying. Which is saying something because he has been close to death so many times."
"Do you have any plans this afternoon so you can see what he needs so that everyone can have a little peace and quiet?"
"I am in court this afternoon for the Meysenburg assault or I would."
"Does Boyle have any plans?"
"Not that I know of."
"Let me get him." "Detective Boyle," he perked up, "come in here please."
He walked in like he was going to get in trouble for something.
"Yes, Captain?"
"Do you have anything going on this afternoon."
"Just working on some paperwork I am behind on."
"What would you do if I said you could forget about the paperwork and work on a super secret special project."
"It depends,"
"Checking on Detective Peralta because Santiago is in court this afternoon."
"Count me in. Let me get my coat. I mean he called me once and I answered and has not called back but gladly."
Boyle walked out happy as a clam.
"Well, that will allow us to at least get some work done around here."
"I agree sir."
"Now go work on your paperwork before court and do not let me catch you throwing your departmentally issued cellular device off the balcony."
"Yes, sir."
I went back to work hopefully Charles will get there soon so I do not lose my cool.
